An English expert warns farmers
against the practice of removing straw
from the land as it tends to impoverish
the soil. Not only are potash, lime,
phosphoric acid. etc. taken away, but
also Il considerable amount of organic
matter, whereby the moisture is too
much reduced. The advice applies as
well to American farmers who sell
straw and buy commercial fertilizers.

Pretty wall ornaments can be
made by using large palm-leaf fans as
foundation for mounting the crystal
lied Southern moss, which should be
FIRMLY sewn to the fan and allowed to
fall in careless tangle over the fan

and rice tied with narrow creole CO. ors
of red and yellow. In placing the fan
tip the handle slightly to the right,
putting the fan up with handle toward
the ceiling. These groupings will
prettily fill long blank wall spaces

hold arts before you attempt to make a

Choose your amusements wisely, for

Above ali, select your friends with
care. Avoid girls who live only fol

CataFrh

May affect ANY portion of the body where the
mucous membrane is found. But catarrh of the
head is by Tar the most common, and, strange to
say, the most liable to be neglected. 1t originates
in cold, or succession of colds, combined with
impure blood. The wonderful success Hood $
Sarsaparlla has had in curing catarrh warrants us
in urging all who suffer with this disease to try the
peculiar medicine. 1t renovates and invigorates
the blood, and tones every organ
